    Before the 4 first ball of this over there were more extras then runs off the bat.. 8.3 overs and 12 wides…. 1 leg bye….a ridiculous number extras off wides for that many overs.. then Young offers more width then O’Connell st and is punished both times.

    Got a wicket.

    WI three down now - 43/3 off 13.5. Bowling has tightened a lot after too many loose deliveries in the opening overs. Not too many boundaries or even scoring shots.

    have to keep them under pressure with lots of dots and ideally wickets. The wides seem to have dried up at least

    Putting down absolutely gimmie chances Campher off his own bowling…jeeez… took his eyes off it not once, but twice and although still directly under it let’s it slip through his own fingers… he should have called for it, kept his eyes on it and caught it not allow himself be distracted…. We had the West Indians behind the 8 ball, not so much now.

    What a catch captain Stirling

    Pollard and brooks again...



  • Registered Users Posts: 25,472 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    93-5… this could be on !

    Yes, certainly is…, hattrick ball, no leg slip, ball goes off the bat to leg slip or where he would have been… now there is a leg slip.

    🤓

    pThey could do with a short leg in,



  • Registered Users Posts: 39,570 ✭✭✭✭KevIRL


    wicket followed by back to back sixes.

    Anything up around 200 wont be straightforward for our fragile batting line up



  • Registered Users Posts: 39,570 ✭✭✭✭KevIRL


    Terrible drop Stirling



  • Registered Users Posts: 25,472 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    Smith… 46 off 18…jeeez

    28 extras of which 26 were wides…. That could cost us.

    STOP FÜCKING BOWLING WIDES !!!

    You'd almost be better off reversing your batting order against Ireland in ODIs given how often this happens.



  • Registered Users Posts: 880 ✭✭✭whatawaster81


    How do they do it? Get in to a great position then inexplicably throw it away. Like do they switch off. 50 and 46 from the two tail enders.



  • Registered Users Posts: 3,984 ✭✭✭blackcard


    It is truly staggering how often Ireland manages to turn an extremely good position into a losing position.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,128 ✭✭✭Fattybojangles


    That's unforgivable they were 143-8 ended with 229 shocking should have been 170 all out at worst hopefully we get opening partnership but this looks like a defeat snatched from the jaws of victory again.

    Is it psychological ? Do the hard work and relax a bit ?

    Romario Shepherd just scored 50.

    His batting average is 5 in ODI’s.



  • Registered Users Posts: 25,472 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    Typical Ireland, 15 runs off that over, then Stirling goes searching for a ball he can’t do anything with on the front foot and he edges it to slip.



  • Registered Users Posts: 25,472 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    15 runs, followed by a maiden



  • Registered Users Posts: 39,570 ✭✭✭✭KevIRL


    after getting off to such a good start there was surely no need to continue being so aggressive given the relatively low target and that Balbirnie is missing.



  • Registered Users Posts: 39,570 ✭✭✭✭KevIRL


    Bah, that's a pity mcbrine



  • Registered Users Posts: 25,472 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    Campher plays all around a straight one, why ? Ahead of the rate just keep going !



  • Registered Users Posts: 25,472 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    Covers are coming off I’m reading

    scratch that, rain again… Ireland well ahead on DL.

    pity though I was enjoying that.



  • Registered Users Posts: 39,570 ✭✭✭✭KevIRL


    Game on soon apparently



  • Registered Users Posts: 39,570 ✭✭✭✭KevIRL


    Or maybe not...

    Any idea of the cut off time for play to resume?

    Edit: just confirmed It's 10:43 so not long to wait
